### 4.1. Guidelines for Object Names

No object type in the Internet-Standard MIB shall use a sub- identifier of 0 in its name. This value is reserved for use with future extensions.

Each OBJECT DESCRIPTOR corresponding to an object type in the internet-standard MIB shall be a unique, but mnemonic, printable string. This promotes a common language for humans to use when discussing the MIB and also facilitates simple table mappings for user interfaces.
